-- Ben Sheets was scheduled to a two-start pitcher, but he walked off early Wednesday night. What to do?
-- There currently are a lot of aces on the two-start pitchers report. It is pretty timely in the crucial final week for Fantasy owners, right?
-- Freddy An. Garcia made a pretty nice return Wednesday and might be a two-start pitcher himself. He has to be a guy to trust, no?
-- Well, it finally happened -- probably too little, too late -- but David Price is here and might actually start now. Maybe even two starts.

-- The Angels have clinched and they are slowing their starters down now, can we trust them in crunch time?
-- It is like this with all teams this time of year? Some teams have six-man rotations (Angels, Pirates), some have four-man rotations (Mets). It is a case-by-case basis.
-- Another contender made a switch with their No. 5 man, Max Scherzer is in for Yusmerio Petit.
-- And about closers ... Chris Carpenter is now closing games for the Cardinals, do we trust him at this point?

-- Cubs have some injury woes. Big Z, Rich Harden... Are these guys toast for Fantasy purposes?
-- Another contender, the Angels, have some struggling starters. They are slotting Dustin Moseley in the rotation and moving back Jered Weaver. Are these guys in operation shutdown with the big lead in their division?
-- OK, we have some September call-ups making mess of rotations, are there some more on the way? Phil Hughes/Ian Kennedy/Price graphic
-- Who are the No. 5 starters for the Mets and Red Sox? Bartolo Colon graphic

-- What the heck is wrong with Brandon Webb and Carlos Zambrano? Don't they realize it is Fantasy crunch time?
-- September call-ups... can these guys make an impact? Emack yaps about Brandon Morrow and Jonathon Niese.
-- Uh, Emack, hello David Price ... where he at dog? You're looking foolish here, bro
-- You talked about trusting young pitchers... Tim Lincecum is pretty remarkable. You gotta trust this guy, right?

-- Adam Wainwright is back as a starter, not a closer -- despite Jason Isringhausen being out for the year and perhaps his career
-- What's wrong with Josh Beckett? The Red Sox rotation is in shambles right now.
-- What is wrong with Jake Peavy, losing three of four starts? Can we trust this guy down the stretch?
-- Brett Myers a complete-game shutout last time out. What happened? He was getting hammered and back in the minors a month ago...

FEEDBACK:
I already know you aren't going to respond to this because you folks don't respond to anything that doesn't pay you a compliment but I got to say that if you're winning your own league it'd probably because you use a different site. My league sets lineups before the first game of the week on Monday. I lost last week by 7 in a pretty high-scoring game. The difference? The fact that I lost a start by Glen Perkins thanks to his wife giving birth but you never noted that until the following week. I'm face with the same exact situation this week where I'm going to score close to 350 thanks to another scratched start Ubaldo Jimenez who you STILL show as starting today even though he's been moved to Tuesday.So I guess what I want to know is where do you get accurate information and not something that's put together and never updated until its too late?And if you're as serious about fantasy sports as you seem to think you are, how does it feel to work for a site ! that is so sloppy when it comes to the details?Shoddy work and no, shoddy wasn't my first choice of words.Have some guts and respond please!

I don’t have time to respond to all of it, but some things cannot be predicted with accuracy. They are probable pitchers, not etched in stone pitchers.

You will be hard-pressed to find someone who spends more time at another website doing Probable Pitcher projections than I.

Emack.

Cool. Then do me a favor and tell whoever is supposed to know that Ubaldo Jimenez didn't pitch yesterday. You might work very hard at this but fantasy sports is all about information and keeping bad information on the page is an indicator of someone either not doing something or someone not thinking its important.

Aaron Cook was pushed back in the rotation due to a back injury. There was no way of knowing whether he would pitch or not.

So, your complaint isn’t about mis-projection or Probable Pitchers, it is about failing to do a player update telling Jimenez owners that Cook is moving back and stealing Jimenez’s second start.

These things happen. Don’t be a rookie.

This is one of those things that happen in Fantasy Baseball. Every year. Any given week. Without warning.

Jimenez is moved back to be a two-start pitcher this week now… barring unforeseen circumstances.
